Team NextLevel at Hot Import Nights

For those who don't know, HIN is one the U.S. biggest nationwide carshows. It's held every year in various states. If you're into modding and the car scene in general, this is certainly one of the shows with the most media exposure. This past Saturday was Minnesota's turn. Attended with the rest of my teammates from Team NextLevel. We have a fairly diverse car line up including Euros (M3, M4, CLA45 AMG), Japanese (GTR,370Z, ISF,WRX STI) and Domestics (CTS-V). We ended up taking home two trophies.

Hottest BMW 2nd Place from with my friends M4




And Hottest Mercedes 1st Place by yours truly with my CLA45 AMG








Some extra pics of the team (Not including the lambo)

I think the only violation is that you didn't send out any invites before this event!
